  1. Re:Sucks to be him on Bug Sends Lost-Phone Seekers To Same Wrong Address · · Score: 3, Funny

    You really think the Casinos would not put an end to pickpockets on their turf? They don't like competition from amateurs.

  2. Re:Perpetual war on Senate Renews Warrantless Eavesdropping Act · · Score: 1

    Article I, Section 7 of the Constitution requires that “All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives.”

    Your long post with all that research and yet I need only one line to prove you wrong. If you actually watch how a budget bill goes through you see that when the President "introduces' his budget he has it sponsored by a representative. Same as when a senator introduces a budget (It must be sponsored by a representative to pass the constitution test)

  3. Screw Sony on New Sony Patent Blocks Second-hand Games · · Score: 2

    All this will do is hasten the return of PC gaming. Especially with the surprisingly good F2P out there. Look at World of Tanks, (and the beta World of Warplanes, lotta fun there), Then checkout Hawken and MechWarrior Online for a little giant robot battle action (ok not really robots).

    Granted you can spend money on these games but you don't gain any real advantage (besides faster xp and credit accumulation).

    Screw the Consoles and their ridiculous DRM.

    Bet it does the opposite and drives more people to the pirate versions as they will most likely work better with less hassle.

    Why do you not allow Microsoft Products in your house? Is it some moral issue you have with Microsoft (it seems that way from the language you use.)? Yet you seem to give Sony a free pass even though they have had some very high profile morally questionable acts in their recent history. I really am curious why you feel this way. I mean did Bill Gates kill your dog or something?

    Typo assumes mistake. I sincerely doubt that misspelling was accidental.

    A new, naive governor was elected in Rhode Island?

    Not so new as he was about to leave office due to term limits.

    It is not the Senates job to introduce a budget. in fact it would be unconstitutional for the budget to be introduced by the Senate. It is the responsibility of the House to introduce budget, it can;t come from the Senate, it can't come from the President. So can we please drop this bullshit about how it's Harry Reid's fault for not coming up with a budget. The blame falls clearly on the House and thus on Boehner's lap.

    No you weren't, you were implying that the left is violent because of a few peoples comments, while ignoring your own party's recent violent rhetoric.

    Wait, nowhere did he say the WV water issue was caused by tracking. Hell I instantly thought of coal mining. What he was saying is when you fuck up an aquifer there is no way to reverse the damage, which leads to screwing everyone who lives in the area.

    No I really want good cops. but if they are not turning in the bad cops then how can you say they are good cops. When they witness a crime or abuse of authority (which, let's be honest, should be a crime) then they have proven they are no better then the ones committing the acts. The thin blue line isn't there to protect "good" cops.

    By that logic Iron Mountain is a bad idea, nevermind that every bank uses them to provide off site storage for their backups. If you are not doing some sort of off site storage your disaster recovery plan is sorely flawed. And who said I did not have local backups? My whole backup plan is based on local storage that is also replicated to an off site location. Way to jump on me with barely any information about my setup up.

    My main worry was that if I store a copy off site does that mean the government no longer thinks it's mine, and if not then who owns this code.

    The whole idea kinda flies in the face of copyright.

    Does this mean that my backups to Barracuda Networks cloud service are no longer mine? This would kill cloud services.
